OT: My Experience in South Bend

I just pulled into middle of nowhere Ohio for the night and need to express my disappointment with ND fans...

We sat next to some really great fans for the first half, but they bailed at halftime cause of the cold (I respect that, it was very cold), which left us next to some younger fans.

I had interacted with them some in the first half after the phantom false start/unsportsmanlike penalty and the interception that was taken away by the "offsides" that was caused by the ND right guard moving early. Both times I got a curt response and a "fuck off, stop cheating" response. I figured -- drunk people like to make bold statements, we're losing, I'll let it be.

However, in the 2nd half when we had one of our lineman injured (didn't see who...) they booed as he walked off the field. I was shocked and turned to them and questioned what they were doing -- I had only heard good things about ND fans and this was the first time EVER at a football game where a player got booed while walking off the field. I was told to "turn the fuck around and go back home and get shot in hillbilly town." It was at this point that I had some choice words about him and his friends.

I left the game ecstatic about the outcome but disappointed in the fans. I really hope this was an outlier and all the other Hokies fans had a great experience. I'd love to hear other people's experience in South Bend.

Anyway, /rant. Go Hokies and as always, fuck UVA.

I told him I’d crawl on my hands and knees to be the DL coach at Virginia Tech. Now, all of a sudden, I’m sitting in this chair and I told him I’d still crawl on my hands and knees to work here. I just want to be here.
